But it is, howem,] a period of settlement in the fullest igl best meaning of the term. The counm was now in process of development. T, he sure the war of 1812 and the Mriktt war had been fought. There were Jew ish soldiers and sailors in both wart, to historians declare, though their number*j were few. The country was expanding People were migrating here from Europe and the State prospered as a result. Georgia is and always has been n| agricultural state, and cotton its priori?*! product.

A recognition of this contribution is registered in the action soon taken by the citizens of the entire state in electing to hold the office of gov ernor in one of the United States, David Emanuel. This historical figure must he included in this survey because his memory has long been neglected. Information about him is meagre. Save for the fact that one of the largest counties in this state, Emanuel County, is named for him, it is not likely that he would he known to the present generation. It is suspected that he came from Vir ginia. But he was horn in Pennsylvania and came South early in his career. He was a member of the Assembly in 1783, gaining that recognition as a result of his courage and daring in skirmishes be tween the Continental troops and the British. He was captured, ordered shot, but escaped on horseback, swimming streams and wading swamps. He suf fered untold hardships until he returned to his little settlement of a few families who had built a group of cabins a short distance below Augusta and called by the British troops “Rebeltown.” What remains of the town now, antiquarians alone can tell. After the Revolutionary War, Emanuel became one of the foremost figures in Burke County. 11c was a member of the Constitutional Convention in 1789, and that of 1795. In July, 1797, he was presi dent of the Senate, and on March 3, 1801, became sixth Governor of Georgia. Records are not clear whether he held this dignity by virtue of his being pres ident of the Senate, or to a regular elec tion. He died in 1808, on his estate a few miles from Waynesboro. Records show that he acknowledged himself a Jew and it is said that he was a fine- looking man, amiable, of good judgment SOUTHERN NOTES (Continued from page 12) • Lyon B.
